# Ciera Okere > Lecturer @ Stanford | Innovation Strategy & Design | Learning x AI Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/cieraokere Hi I’m Ciera, a designer and innovation strategist! I am passionate about making an effort to understand the future and finding ways to design the change we want to see. I am dedicated to deeply understanding customer viewpoints and making sense of them for clients. With a background in user interface design, I have a proclivity for empathy and a keen eye for small details that drive impactful change. Currently you can find me at Jump Associates, guiding Fortune 500 companies through times of uncertainty and possibility. Over the past few years, I've co-founded a design consultancy to aid small businesses and non-profits, trained in UI/UX design at Meta, received a B.S. in Product Design from Stanford University, and assisted in facilitating culture-building conversations around diversity, equity, and inclusion for companies and educational institutions. Outside of the office, you can find me testing new recipes in the kitchen, practicing conversational Portuguese, teaching woodcarving, or dabbling in furniture design. ## Work Experience ### Lecturer @ Stanford University Jan 2024 – Present ### Senior Innovation Strategist @ Jump Associates Jan 2024 – Jan 2025 ### Content Lead @ Jump Associates Jan 2024 – Jan 2025 ### Innovation Strategist @ Jump Associates Jan 2022 – Jan 2024 | San Mateo, California, United States ### Adjunct Lecturer @ Stanford University Jan 2022 – Jan 2024 | Palo Alto, California, United States ### Product Design Intern @ Facebook Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Menlo Park, California, United States Worked in the Facebook Connectivity Org, doing UI/UX design for the Terragraph and Magma products.
